Chapter 208 Sachet

"Xing'er, why do you want to see her? She is just a concubine my mother forced me to take in." Pei Jingyuan stopped her, feeling a little guilty.

But Chen Xing was very persistent and said, "It's not a big deal if she comes here so often. I want to see what she wants to do. Are you afraid that I will see her?"

"How could that be!" Pei Jingyuan immediately retorted.

Pei Jingyuan had no choice but to take Chen Xing out. Outside the house, Zhao Shiwen had already lifted her skirt and knelt on the ground, looking so weak that people wanted to protect her.

If this were normal, Pei Jingyuan would definitely be moved by her appearance, but the situation was different now, he still needed to coax Chen Xing. Now, seeing Zhao Shiwen appearing here without knowing the time, he was particularly annoyed and felt that Zhao Shiwen's appearance disgusted him.

"Who told you to kneel here?" Pei Jingyuan looked at Zhao Shiwen and said unhappily.

"Young Master..." Zhao Shiwen looked up at him with tears in her eyes. She thought Pei Jingyuan felt sorry for her.

But Pei Jingyuan poured cold water on her and said coldly: "If you have something to say, just say it nicely, don't pretend here! I have said so many times that I don't want to see you, why do you always come here shamelessly?"

When Zhao Shiwen heard Pei Jingyuan say that she was shameless, she was stunned. This was the first time Pei Jingyuan said that to her. Suddenly, she felt wronged and sad.

"Sir, I just wanted to come and see you. Don't you know what Wen'er did wrong? You have ignored me recently. Have you forgotten what you said before about being nice to me?" After Zhao Shiwen finished speaking, tears fell down her face. She tried to make Pei Jingyuan recall the past. The scene of their love made him feel distressed.

But what she didn't know was that the more she mentioned these things, the more disgusted and guilty Pei Jingyuan would feel.

Pei Jingyuan shouted at her angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? This young master has never liked you. Someone, take Aunt Zhao away. Without my order, she is not allowed to leave the yard again!"

"Young Master!" Zhao Shiwen widened her eyes in shock after hearing this. She had never expected that this would be the result.

She really couldn't understand why Pei Jingyuan's attitude towards her changed so drastically after he came back from his trip. But before she could continue, Pei Jingyuan's servant hurriedly dragged her away.

Chen Xing beside him noticed something was wrong. She frowned slightly and looked at Pei Jingyuan and said, "She doesn't look like she was forced upon you by the Duke's wife. You seemed to like her in the past, didn't you?"

"No... don't listen to her nonsense. She was sent here by my mother. She saw me being with you and she was jealous of you, so she came here deliberately to say these things to sow discord between you and me. Xing'er, don't be fooled by her. I only like you. When I have done something meritorious and asked for the imperial decree to grant marriage, I will drive them all away." Pei Jingyuan promised.

Chen Xing was still somewhat confused, but he didn't say anything more. He just quietly kept a sense of caution in his heart.

——Prince Yu’s Mansion——

His face has never been good since the Prince of Qin returned safely, especially this time when the Prince of Qin made great contributions in disaster relief and received rewards and praises from the emperor.

"Why hasn't Pei Jingyuan dared to come to my house these days? He must be feeling guilty, afraid that I will blame him for not doing his job well and not solving the problems he should have solved!" Prince Yu said gloomily while sitting in the study.

Mr. Qi stood by and said calmly, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. I think it would be better to have someone call Mr. Pei to see what happened in Yuzhou."

"Okay! Your Majesty, I would like to see how he explains why none of the people I sent to him came back." Prince Yu nodded and ordered someone to call Pei Jingyuan.

Pei Jingyuan had known for a long time that he would be scolded by Prince Yu when he returned, so he never took the initiative to find Prince Yu, but chose to stay with Chen Xing every day, just to get some good things from her.

After several rounds of coaxing, he finally got the Soul-Eating Gu from Chen Xing.

However, what he didn't expect was that after he got the Soul-Eating Gu and left with satisfaction, Chen Xing quietly slipped away to find Xu Qingyan and the others.

Although Chen Xing heard what Pei Jingyuan said and knew that the Duke's wife and others were very bad to Pei Jingyuan and his mother, she felt that Pei Jingchuan's crime was not worthy of death. During the time she had been in contact with them, she had never seen Pei Jingchuan and his people do anything immoral.

So, in order to prevent Pei Jingyuan from using the soul-eating insect to harm Pei Jingchuan, and also to see if Pei Jingyuan was really lying to her again, she went to find Xu Qingyan.

She gave Xu Qingyan and his wife a pair of sachets, which were the antidote to the Soul Devouring Gu. If Pei Jingyuan really put the Soul Devouring Gu into Pei Jingchuan's body, the Soul Devouring Gu would be lured by the fragrance and drill into the sachets from Pei Jingchuan's body. At that time, the entire sachets would emit a foul smell.

She thought that if she found out Pei Jingyuan was still deceiving her this time, she would no longer want him. She didn't want a man who lied to her.

"Husband, you must take good care of this sachet and never leave it." After Chen Xing left, Xu Qingyan immediately hung the sachet on Pei Jingchuan.

They already knew that Pei Jingyuan had taken the Soul-Eating Gu from Chen Xing. Although Chen Xing did not directly tell them the use of the sachet, Xu Qingyan understood Chen Xing's thoughts.

"I feel that Pei Jingyuan doesn't seem to be going to use the Soul-Eating Gu on me, so this sachet probably won't be of any use." Pei Jingchuan stroked the sachet in his hand but expressed a different opinion from Xu Qingyan.

Xu Qingyan was slightly surprised when she heard this and asked, "Husband, who do you think Pei Jingyuan wants to deal with with this?"

"If the Soul Devouring Gu is really as powerful as it is said to be, and can control people's minds, and allow them to be controlled by it, and gain benefits from them, then from whom do you think it can gain the greatest benefit?"

"Husband, you mean..." Xu Qingyan suddenly realized and couldn't help but open her eyes wide.

"Now, Pei Jingyuan is on his way to Prince Yu's mansion. I believe he will hand it over to Prince Yu first and let Prince Yu bring it to the palace. After Prince Yu successfully ascends the throne, his chance will come." Pei Jingchuan slowly expressed his thoughts to Xu Qingyan.

Xu Qingyan immediately became anxious when she heard this and said, "Husband, if we don't stop them, it will be terrible if they succeed. Although, we don't know whether this Soul Devouring Gu is real or fake, we have to be on guard."

Pei Jingchuan nodded and said, "I have to find a way to send this to the palace."

Xu Qingyan was about to nod, but she remembered something and immediately stopped Pei Jingchuan and said, "Slow down! Husband, do you think Doctor Xuan has any better solution?"

[The divine doctor Xuan in the book is very powerful. In addition to curing diseases, he is also good at poisoning. Can he do something to Pei Jingyuan's poisonous insect? If the poisonous insect dies directly, the plan of Prince Yu and his men will fail at most, and they will not be punished. It would be great if we can take this opportunity to bring them down! ] Xu Qingyan thought in her heart.
